"I want you to tell the truth!"
"I’ve always been telling the truth. My feelings for you have faded, but it has nothing to do with anyone else. It’s just between the two of us. It’s the problems we’ve created between us. Don’t you understand?!"
Nan Yuesheng looked into his eyes, the gaze she loved most, now showing a cold light and a tired expression.
"Then, let ask you one question. Have you ever thought about letting go?"
"Up until now, I haven’t thought about it."
This was his sincere response. Apart from anything else between them, there’s also a common child. No matter what, Xu Mohan would desperately try to maintain this marriage, but he didn’t know how long he could hold on, because...
If every day continues like this, he feels exhausted.
Nan Yuesheng’s complexion improved a lot, "Then let ask you again, why didn’t you co up to sleep with last night?"
"I unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa."
Nan Yuesheng didn’t ask further, "Co downstairs for dinner."

When Gu Lili woke up, Long Yubei was already gone. She habitually assud he went to the company but saw him enter as she ca out from washing up.
"Oh, you didn’t go to the company?"
"I planned to go." Long Yubei pushed her to sit down, "Just as I woke up, Xiao Bai ca to report that a war has broken out on the border between the Demon World and Heavenly World, with dozens dead. The Six Realms’ eting stipulates that if any party initiates a war, they must collectively bear the united attack of the other realms; if it’s an individual, they must be severely punished without rcy. This ti it’s obviously collectivity."
"Who started it this ti?"
"It’s said to be the Heavenly World." Long Yubei never relaxed his vigilance against the Heavenly King’s actions. "If this ti Heavenly World and Demon World start fighting, the Heavenly King will definitely dispatch you to lead the army. Right now, he’d love to seize any opportunity to remove you quickly since your brother is still undergoing a trial in the mortal world; removing you wouldn’t be so hard."
"Beep, beep, beep, beep..." Gu Lili picked up the phone and opened the monitor, seeing people from the Heavenly World arriving at the 9th courtyard, and the two exchanged glances.
"Talk about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives."
"Are you going back?"
"No going back," Gu Lili said decisively, "I don’t want to go back and take orders now."
"That’s true, you might as well hide away."
That was their plan, but unexpectedly, news ca from the Netherworld saying the Heavenly King asked the Netherworld King to call Jun Yu back.
The Heavenly King’s intention is clear as day.
"He assus you know about this matter and probably guessed you’re hiding to avoid involvent, but the Heavenly King blatantly insists on having either you or your brother step forward. How about taking this opportunity to call your brother back, what do you think?"
"No." Gu Lili disagreed. "It’s so chaotic now, the Heavenly King is eager to use Yu to threaten at any mont. Even if Yu isn’t undergoing a trial in the mortal world now, the Heavenly King would still find ways to give him trouble. Forget it, I’ll still make a trip to the Heavenly World, you go to the Netherworld and tell your father to not let my brother return, and wait for news from the Heavenly World."
"Alright."
They split up to act.
When Gu Lili arrived at the Heavenly World, Yunxiao Palace was in session. Her appearance was within the Heavenly King’s expectations.
"I’ve heard about the situation between the Heavenly World and Demon World this morning. What on earth is going on?"
"Since you’ve returned, I won’t ask soone to call Jun Yu back. If you hadn’t returned, I’d only have Jun Yu take command."
"Is my Heavenly World so devoid of competent people that only the two of us siblings can lead armies? Are all others useless?" Gu Lili had long torn apart her face with him, and now wouldn’t care about anything. "If the situation is perilous, the Heavenly King should just assign others; plenty of people have stronger mana and bravery than the two of us siblings."
